‘The love that dares not speak its name’ no more
Things have certainly changed for gay Bay State politicians since Barney Frank and Gerry Studds were almost run out of Congress, Barney for his sordid affair with a rent boy named Hot Bottom, and Studds for plying a teenaged male Congressional page with vodka and then sodomizing him.
Now Julian Cyr is the flamboyantly gay state senator from Provincetown. On a recent TV chat show, Cyr was complaining that he can’t even afford the cost of an average home on the Cape — $400,000.
“I probably need a boyfriend or a husband,” he said, “to maybe help me get to that $400,000.”
We’ve come a long way from Oscar Wilde and “the love that dares not speak its name.”
